    Here it is in Order of Importance (for most Dublin middle class Women aged 18-25)

    1)Car
    2)Money
    3)The Actual Person

    i'd say that most of the girls are as 'shallow' as us guy's
    if they have to pick between mr celeb-look-alike and just another nice guy... they go for the celeb.

    Don’t worry Typie – she’ll change her mind when she discovers that he’s been rogering her best friend sideways, on the side, for the last few weeks.

    someone who accepts ALL my flaws
    someone who respects my independence
    someone who doesn't want to change my individuality (in other words, if you don't like what you get then don't try to change me or make me feel inadequate - just go away)
    someone with a wild sense of humour
    someone with a big cock
    someone passionate

    that's all!

    I don't think girls look for anything in particular in a guy.

    For instance, I know a lot of good looking men. That doesn't mean I fancy them.

    I know a lot of rich men. That doesn't mean I fancy them.

    I know a lot of funny men. That doesn't mean I fancy them.

    I know a few good looking, rich, funny men. ...nah, still don't fancy them.

    Inotherwords, there's someone out there to whom each and every one of you will appeal on some level. It simply depends on the person.

    Deep joy, there's hope for the nerds yet...

    "Guy who likes and is good with computers."

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,712 ✭✭✭davelerave


    1. fame
    2.good looks
    3. confidence
    4. bull****
    5. money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,648 ✭✭✭smiles


    Hmmm.....

    personality
    level of personal happiness (depressive people get me down too much)
    cuteness
    ability to laugh at themselves/me

    my ideal looking guy would be-around 6'0, blonde hair...perhaps a bit of a shaggy cut, blue eyes, slim-medium build and a bit muscular. i love small-medium muscular arms. 6 packs are also nice.

    perosonality wise, someone who is funny, who is completely besotted with me, but not in a dependant type way. someone who is easy going, and won't shove opinions down other people's necks. (i hate ppl like that, i've never been able to stay with anyone like that). if they have the same taste in music as me it's great but not a requirement. and i'd love to date a vegetarian but no luck yet. someone who has a similar amount of income as me, coz i hate not being able to do stuff coz of a money issue. (that being said i ahve no problem if he's richer than me and wants to pay for everything :))

    needless to say ive never been with this 'ideal' man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Id say it depends on what kind of girl your talking about.

    For younger girls who are around 14 - 24, they would look for a guy with good looks and who has charisma and popularity. Owning a car is always a plus too and your almost gaurunteed a girl. Money cant be bad either.

    I think in later years, ie: for women in their late twenties, you would need to have a good job and money, basically you would need stability. Chicks always dig the money, even if they claim they dont. For alot of them its at the top of the agenda.

    Matt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    oh yeah i forgot to mention.

    if you come onto a girl too much and show your too keen, then that can only mean bad things. Firstly you might drive her away and she will lose interest ( keep em keen by being mean ), or else if you do end up toghether she will have the upper hand. If you get landed with an arsehole then thats a bad thing .

    Apparently medium to huge is the way to go: :ninja:

    Medium is great, huge can be great for when there's that itch, soooo deep down that you just need someone else to scratch...

    Ahaha Drowner we're NEVER going to fall out over a guy anyway!!

    What annoyed me here was (oh there's ALWAYS something, isn't there?) that a load of guys have posted here telling US what we want!!

    I've found that if I'm around someone a good bit, they don't p*ss me off, they're funny, they can be serious when they know I need them to be, they mighn't be the best looking guy in the world but I will fall for them.

    Although, I'm apparently notorious for my really bad taste in men, but I always think the people I go out with are great, I'm friends with them all still because I value them as people.

    1) I do NOT like six packs. Bleee. I like a man with a good bit of weight on. Mmmmmm cuddly.

    2) MUST have the ability to be sarcastic, and understand sarcasm.

    3) er.....now here's a shallow one.....I would prefer him to like the same music as me but its not compulsory.

    4) er.....'size' is definitely not important.

    5) I have a car. I don't need him to have one. (my car, my music!! Mwoahahaha!! If he wants to listen to his stuff, he can get his own car and listen to it in that!)

    I think if he has some/all of these qualities, I'll eventually just fall for him anyway, because I'll look for something attractive about him. If he has no personality, I won't bother looking for something attractive, he won't even blip up on my radar.
